Time sighting:
Just after midnight (12.30 am) on
04.01.2004. No wind and it was around 30° .

Place:
Main North Road near Parafield Airport

Object:
4 orange lights hovering

Witnesses:
Mark stopped the car. He and his wife
got out for a better look.

Movement: First the objects were hovering
in a shape like the southern cross. After
manoeuvring backwards and forwards for a
while they formed a line, one after the other.
During this time they flashed a little and moved
off into the distance. One faded out then all faded.

Duration Not noted.

Brief Overview:

Mark and his wife were going home along Main
North Road at around midnight when Mark noticed
4 dull glowing, orange lights in a strange formation.
He stopped the car on the side of the road where
he and his wife could get a better look. He observed
them for some time as they began moving backwards
and forwards then formed a line and moved off.

They faded. One at first and then followed by the rest
as they moved out of sight in the distance. A light plane
then took off in their direction as if following them.

This is interesting because Adelaide does have a curfew
on take-offs and landings (11.00pm at night).

Conclusion:

If not for the back and forth movement and maneuvering
I would have said garbage bags/balloons. But garbage
bags can't go back and forth! So, unknown.
